METAL CERAMIC CROWN Armamentarium : Preparation steps : Guiding grooves Incisal or occlusal reduction Labial or buccal reduction Axial reduction of the proximal and lingual surfaces Finishing
Metal ceramic crown Indications : 1. Extensive tooth destruction – caries, trauma or existing previous restorations 2. The need for superior retention and strength 3. An endodontically treated tooth in conjunction with a suitable supporting structure (a post and core) 4. To recontour axial surface or correct minor malinclinations 5. Esthetics 6. If all ceramic crown is contraindicated Contraindications : 1. Patients with active caries or untreated periodontal disease 2. Young patients with large pulp chambers 3. When more conservative retainer is technically feasible 4. Intact buccal wall Advantages : 1. Superior esthetics as compared to complete cast crown. 2. Strength of cast metal is combined with the esthetics of an all ceramic crown by reinforcing a brittle, more cosmetically pleasing material through support derived from the stronger qualities are excellent. 3. excellent retentive qualities Disadvantages : 1. Removal of substantial tooth structure. 2. Subject to fracture because porcelain is brittle. 3. Difficult to obtain accurate occlusion in glazed porcelain. 4. Shade selection can be difficult. 5. Inferior esthetics compared to all ceramic crown. 6. Expensive
7. Potential for periodontal disease as the facial margin of an anterior restoration is often placed subgingivally. Preparation of tooth for porcelain fused to metal crown Armamentarium : 1. Round tipped rotary diamonds or carbides. 2. Foot ball or wheel shaped diamond 3. Flat – end tapered diamond 4. Finishing stones 5. Explorer and periodontal probe 6. Hatchet and chisel Step - by – step procedures : The preparation is divided into 4 major steps 1. Guiding grooves ( Depth orientation grooves) 2. Incisal or occlusal reduction 3. Labial or buccal reduction 4. Axial reduction of the proximal and lingual surfaces 5. Final finishing of all prepared surfaces Guiding grooves : Place 3 depth grooves one in the centre of the facial surface and one each in the approximate locations of the mesiofacial and distofacial line angles. Depth grooves in the facial wall are placed in2 directions. Incisally, parallel to the tooth contour cervically parallel to the path of withdrawal. The grooves should be 1.3mm deep to allow for additional reduction during finishing. Place 3 depth grooves about 1.8 mm in incisal edge of an anterior tooth to provide the needed reduction of 2 mm and allow finishing. Incisal or occlusal reduction : Tapered round-tipped diamond. The incisal reduction of an anterior tooth should be 2mm for adequate material thickness to permit translucency in the completed restoration. Posterior teeth generally require less (1.5mm) because esthetics is not as critical.
Labial (buccal) reduction : Tapered flat – tipped diamond. The reduction of the facial surface should have sufficient space to accommodate the metal substructure and porcelain veneer. A minimum of 1.2 mm is necessary to produce restoration with satisfactory appearance (1.5mm is preferable). The cervical shoulder is established at this stage. Axial reduction of the proximal and lingual surfaces : Sufficient tooth structure must be removed to provide a distinct smooth chamfer of about 0.5 mm width. Tapered round-tipped diamond is used to provide a taper of 6 degrees convergence from cervical to incisal or occlusal. As the lingual chamfer is developed extend it buccally into the proximal to blend with the interproximal shoulder placed earlier. A foot ball shaped diamond is used to reduce the lingual surface of ant teeth approx 1mm deep to provide clearance in all excursions. Finishing : The finishing of shoulder or beveled shoulder is done with a tapered flat – tipped diamond or hand instrument. must extend at least 1mm lingual to the proximal contact area. The bevel if selected should be as far incisal as possible relative to the epithelial attachment. Tapered round – tipped diamond or carbide is used to rounded all the line angles and the completed preparation should have a satin finish free from obvious diamond scratch masks.

Proximal boxes Caries removal Occlusal reduction Centric cusp ledge Gingival and proximal bevels Occlusal bevel Partial veneer crown : An extracoronal metal restoration that covers only part of the clinical crown is considered to be a partial veneer crown. It can also be referred to as a partial coverage restoration. An intracoronal cast metal restoration is called an inlay or an onlay if one or more cusps are restored. Several types of partial veneers exist. For posterior teeth – three quarter, modified three – quarter, seven – eights crown. For anterior teeth – three quarter crown and pinledges Indications : 1. Sturdy clinical crown of average length or longer 2. Intact buccal surface not in need of contour modification and well supported by sound tooth structure. 3. No conflict between axial relationship of tooth and proposed path of withdrawal of FPD 4. Retainers for a FPD or where restoration or alteration of the occlusal surface is needed. Contraindications : 1. Short teeth 2. High caries Index 3. Extensive destruction 4. Poor alignment 5. Bulbous teeth 6. Thin teeth
Advantages : 1. Conservative of tooth structure 2. Easy access to margins 3. Less gingival involvement than with complete cast crown 4. Easy escape of cement and good seating 5. Verification of seating simple 6. Electric vitality test feasible Disadvantages : 1. Less retentive than complete cast crown 2. Limited adjustment of path of withdrawal 3. Some display of metal Armamentarium : 1. Narrow (approx 0.8mm) round – tipped, tapered diamond (regular or coarse grit) – Bulk reduction 2. Regular – size (approx 1.2 mm), round tipped, tapered diamond (fine grit) or carbide – finishing. 3. Football shaped or wheel shaped diamond (regular grit) 4.

Mirror 10. Explorer and periodontal probe – assessing the direction and dimension of the various steps. 11. Chisels – finish proximal flares and bevels.
POSTERIOR PARTIAL VENEER CROWN PREPARATION Maxillary premolars three – quarter crown The three – quarter crown preparation derives its name from the number of axial walls involved. Except for a slight bevel or chamfer placed along the buccocclusal line angle, the buccal tooth surface remains intact. The other surfaces are prepared to accommodate a casting in the same manner as a complete crown preparation, differing only in the need for axial retention grooves. Occlusal reduction : Place depth grooves for the occlusal reduction with a tapered carbide or narrow diamond in the development grooves of the mesial and distal fossae and in the crest of the triangular ridge. In the central groove they should be slight less (about 0.2 mm) than 1 mm deep to allow for finishing. On the centric (lingual) cusp they should slightly less than 1.5 mm deep in the location of the occlusal contacts. Upon completion of the occlusal reduction, a clearance of at least 1.5 mm should exist on the centric cusp and atleast 1.0 mm on the noncentric cusp and in the central groove. The buccal cusp may help obtain sufficient clearance while maintaining the original occlusocervical dimension of the tooth. Axial reduction : Place grooves for axial alignment on the center of the lingual surface and in the mesiolingual and distolingual transitional line angles. They should be parallel to the long axis of the tooth and should not exceed half the width of the tip of the diamond (chamfer depth of 0.5 mm) The proximal reduction is usually short of breaking the proximal contact. The resulting flanges should be parallel to the linguoaxial preparation, with the chamfer placed sufficiently cervical to provides atleast 0.6 mm of clearance with the adjacent tooth and the axial wall allowing for a proximal groove of at least 4 mm of length occlusocervically.
Proximal groove placement : Tapered carbide bur is positioned against the interproximal flange parallel to the path of withdrawal and a groove is made perpendicular to the axial surface. The groove need not be deeper than 1 mm at its cervical end but may be deeper near its occlusal end. Buccoocclusal contralevel : Connect the mesial and distal flares with a narrow contralevel that follows the buccal cusp ridges. The level should remain within the curvature of the cusp tip rather than extend on to the buccal wall which can be placed with a diamond, or carbide or even a hand instrument. Primary purpose : To remove any unsupported enamel and thereby protect the buccal cusp tip from chipping during function. If group function is planned, a heavier bevel, chamfer or occlusal offset will be needed. Occlusal offset : If additional bulk is needed to ensure rigidity of the restoration, it can be provided with an occlusal offset which extends from the proximal grooves along the buccal cusp. It is essential for the structural durability of ant partial veneer crown. Finishing : Round all sharp internal line angles with a fine – grit diamond or carbide. The flares should be straight and smooth with sufficient clearance (min about 6 mm) between than and the adjacent tooth. Maxillary molar three – quarter crown : The principles used in a premolar preparation can also apply for a maxillary molar with some additional leeway may exist for groove placement because more tooth structure is present on molars than on premolars. Because of their less prominent position in the dental arch, the mesioproximal flare can sometimes be extended onto the buccal surface without increasing esthetic liability.
Maxillary molar seven eights crown : This preparation includes in addition to the surfaces covered by the three quarter crown, the distal half of the buccal surface. Mesial aspect – Resemble three – quarter crown and is protected by a narrow contralevel or chamfer. Distal aspect – Resembles complete crown. A groove in the middle of the buccal surface is placed parallel to the path of withdrawal. Distal to this groove, the buccal surface is reduced in 2 planes. The cervical paralleling the path withdrawal. Occlusal following the normal anatomic contour. The lingual surface is also reduced in 2 planes and the centric cusp levels are incorporated. Occlusal reduction : Min measurement are the same as for the three quarter crown preparation. To delineate the extent of the lingual centric cusp bevel, they should extend onto the lingual surface of the tooth. On the lingual incline of the MB cups they will resemble depth cuts for the three – quarter crown. On the DB cusp they should be approx 0.8mm deep to provide sufficient occlusal clearance for this noncentric cusp. Concave shaping of the resulting MB incline may again prove useful because it will permit the occlusocervical height of the cusp to be maintained. When completed this bevel should provide 1.5 mm of clearance in the ICP as well as the excursive movements of the mandible. Axial reduction : Place 3 alignment groove in the lingual wall and transfer the selected path of withdrawal to the DB transitional line angle area, where a 4th alignment groove can be placed. Start the reduction in the middle of the lingual surface. The mesial half is prepared like a three – quarter crown the distal half like a complete crown.
Carry the facial reduction sufficiently mesial to include the buccal groove. Groove placement, flaring and contrabevel : Place the mesial groove like the three – quarter crown place the buccal groove parallel to the mesial groove and perpendicular to the buccoaxial wall. Connect the 2 grooves with a smooth contrabevel that follows the ridge of the MB cusp. Adequate clearance must be established interproximally upon completion. Mandibular premolar modified three – quarter crown : Mandibular partial veneer preparations are made more often on premolars than on molars. They differ from maxillary molar three – quarter crown preparations in 2 respect. Additional retention is required because of the shorter crown lengths of mandibular teeth. The axial surface that is not prepared (the buccal) includes one functional cusp. This means that additional tooth structure must be removed to provide sufficient bulk of metal for strength. Occlusal reduction : Place 0.8 mm depth grooves on the buccal inclines of the lingual cusps and 1.3 mm grooves on the lingual inclines of the buccal cusp. These guiding grooves are once again placed to follow the basic groove and fissure pattern of the occlusal surface. Arial reduction : Place guiding grooves on the lingual surface to parallel the proposed path of withdrawal and the long axis of the tooth. Prepare the mesial as already described for the three – quarter and seven - eights crown.
Reduce the distal surface as for a complete crown extending the preparation to the transitional line angle and onto the buccal surface. Finishing : Place the mesial and buccal grooves as described for the seven – eights crown. Another distal groove may be placed. To gain as much length as possible, the grooves of the three-quarter crown should be slightly buccal. Distal groove is slightly close to the center of the distal wall. Connect the mesial and buccal grooves with a centric cusp chamfer which must be heavy enough to allow 1.5 mm of clearance in the area of occlusal contact. A regular or thick diamond is used to place the chamfer which should provide a protective "staple" linkage of alloy in the completed restoration. Finally, all prepared surfaces are smoothed and the internal line angles rounded. Anterior partial veneer crown preparation : Maxillary canine three – quarter crown On a maxillary canine it involves the proximal and lingual surfaces and leaves the facial surface intact. Incisal and lingual reduction : Place depth grooves for both the incisal bevel and the lingual reduction. The incisal bevel makes an angle of approx 45 degrees with the long axis of the tooth. It is prepared with a round – tipped diamond which allows for metal thickness 0.7 mm. The design of the incisal bevel should prevent contact between opposing teeth and the incisal margin. The original configuration of the facial surface should be presented. The lingual reduction is done with a foot ball or wheel – shaped diamond and it should have 1mm of clearance for metal. Axial reduction and groove placement : To enhance the retention and resistance form, place a slightly exaggerated chamfer on the lingual aspect
of the tooth and a guiding groove in the middle of the lingual wall. The groove is placed with a round – tipped diamond which allows for 0.5 mm of metal thickness at margin. The axial reduction extends into interproximal about 0.4 mm lingual of contact area and it should be parallel to incisal two thirds of labial surface. Incisal offset and lingual pinhole : Anterior PVC require a means of reinforcement for preserving the casting's integrity, so on incisal offset or groove is needed to create a band of thicker metal to provide a "staple configuration" which provides additional rigidity and resistance against bending of the casting. An inverted cone diamond or carbide is used to prepare the offset by connecting the mesial and distal groove. It prevent against lingual displacement and should have a V configuration. Pin-hole is placed in the cingulerm area lightly off enter to improve the retention and resistance of the preparation and it should be approx 2mm which is prepared with a tapered carbide fissure bur and half round bur. Proximal grooves should parallel to incisal two thirds of labial surface and it should resists lingual displacement. Lingual wall of groove meets proximal wall at angle of 900 degrees with a Tapered carbide. Fissure bur and half round bur. Finishing and flare : Fine – grit tapered diamonds (large and small) or carbide are used for finishing. All surfaces should be smooth and the buccal wall of groove flared to break proximal contact resulting is a cavosarface angle of 900 with no unsupported enamel remaining. Pinledge preparation : Indications : 1. Undamaged anterior teeth in caries – free mouth 2. Alteration of lingual contour of maxillary anterior teeth or alteration of occlusion.
3. Anterior splinting Contain dictations : 1. Poor oral hygiene 2. Large pulps 3. Thin teeth 4. Nonvital teeth 5. Carious involvement 6. Problems with proposed path of withdrawal of FPD Advantages : 1. Minimal tooth reduction 2. Minimal margin length 3. Minimum gingival involvement 4. Optimum access for margin finishing and hygiene 5. Adequate retention Disadvantages : 1. Less retentive than complete coverage 2. Alignment can prove difficult 3. Technically demanding 4. Not usable on nonvital teeth Maxillary Central Incisor pinledge : Three designs of pinledge preparations 1. Conventional pinledge involving only the lingual surface of the tooth 2. Pinledge with a proximal slice 3. Pinledge with a proximal groove Design : A line is marked along the height of contour of the incisal edge and on the proximal wall to include the area needed for a connector, The lingual chamfer is placed immediately adjacent to the crest of the marginal ridge.
Proximal Reduction : Prepare the proximal slice with a tapered diamond. The primary purpose is to provide sufficient reduction to allow adequate metal in the area for a subsequent connector. Incisal and lingual reduction : Prepared the incisal bevel with the diamond inclined slightly toward the lingual. Sufficient clearance provides functional contact on metal rather than on the junction between metal and tooth structure. The desired metal thickness is 1mm, except in the area close to the margin. Perform the lingual reduction with a football – or wheel – shaped diamond. Metal thickness of 1mm is required in the ICP and throughout excursive movements. Ledges and indentations : The ledges are prepared with a straight carbide fissure bur with the ledges parallel to one another when viewed from lingual and from incisal. Maximum width is 1mm. The incisal edge is 2 to 2.5 mm cervical to the incisal edge or one fourth of the total height of the preparation from the incisal edge. The cervical ledge is placed on the crest of the cingulum at the centre of the cervical ¼ th of the of preparation. The indentations are prepared with a straight. Carbide fissure bur in the left and right sides of the incisal ledge and slightly off center in the cervical ledge to prevent subsequent pulp exposure when the pinholes are placed. The indentation should provide at lest 0.5 mm of space for metal reinforcement around opening of pinhole. Pinhole preparation : Sink pilot channels with either a small round bur or a small twist drill. Pinholes are prepared with a tapered carbide bur and it must be between 2 and 3 mm deep. The minimal width of ledge around pinholes is 0.5 mm
Bevel the junction between pinhole and indentation with a round bur slightly large than the largest diameter of the pinhole. Finishing : It is done with finishing stones on carbides. All surface must be as smooth as possible to facilitate removal of this delicate wax pattern from die. INLAYS Indications : 1. Small carious lesion in otherwise sound tooth 2. Adequate dentinal support 3. Low carries rate 4. Patient's request for gold instead of amalgam or composite resin. Contraindications : 1. High caries Index 2. Poor plaque control 3. Small teeth 4. Adolescents 5. Poor dentinal support requiring a wide preparations Advantages : 1. Superior material properties 2. Longevity 3. No discoloration from corrosion 4. Least complex cast restoration Disadvantages : 1. Less conservative than amalgam 2. May display metal 3. Gingival extension beyond ideal 4. "Wedge" retention
Class II inlay preparation : Armamentarium : Carbide burs are usually used for inlay or only preparation, but diamonds can be substituted if preferred : 1. Tapered carbide burs 2. Round carbide burs 3. Cylindrical carbide burs 4. Finishing stones 5. Mirror 6. Explorer and periodontal probe 7. Chisels 8. Hatchet 9. Gingival margin trimmers 10. Excavators 11. High – and low – speed handpieces 12.

Caries removal ; Carries is removed with a excavator or round bur and a place a cement base to restore the excavated tissue in the axial wall or pulpal floor. Axiogingival groove : It is placed with a gingival margin trimmer at the junction of axial and gingival walls at the base of the proximal box to enhance resistance form and prevent distortion of the wax pattern during manipulation and is 0.2 mm deep. Gingival and proximal bevels : Are placed with a thin, tapered carbide or diamond. The gingival bevel is at 45 – degrees and it should be 0.8 mm
wide. Proximal bevels are prepared on the buccal and lingual walls with the tapered bur oriented in the path of withdrawal. Occlusal bevel : It is prepared with a round carbide or stone to create a hollow – ground bevel or chamfer and to avoid. Centric contacts. The occlusal bevel should improve marginal fit and allow finishing of the restorations. MOD Onlay: Indications : 1. Worn on carious teeth with intact buccal and lingual cusp. 2. MOD amalgam requiring replacement. 3. Low carries rate. 4. Patients; request for gold instead of amalgam Contraindications : 1. High caries Index. 2. Poor plaque control. 3. Short clinical crown or extruded teeth. 4. Lesions extending beyond transitional line angles. Advantages : 1. Support of cusps 2. High strength 3. Longevity Disadvantages : 1. Lacks retention 2. Less conservation than amalgam 3. May display metal 4. Gingival extension beyond ideal Mod onlay preparation : Occlusal outline : It includes the central, buccal and lingual grooves and it is about 1.8 mm deep and done with a tapered carbide bur.
Proximal bones : are prepared with a tapered carbide bur and it follows the curvature of the original tooth structure. Carries removal : Carries are removed by a excavator or round bur and the tissues are replaced with base and to allow adequate dentin for resistance and retention. Occlusal Reduction : It should follow anatomic contours and it is about 1.5 mm deep on centric cusp and 1.0 mm on the noncentric cusps and done with a tapered carbide bur. Centric cusp ledge : It should be about 1.00 mm wide (before beveling ) and about 1.0 mm apical to centric contact done with a tapered carbide bur. Gingival and proximal bevels : It is done with a thin, tapered carbide and should be about 45 degrees and 0.8 mm wide Bevel the noncentric and centric cusps. Where additional bulk at the margin is needed, a chamfer should be substituted for the straight bevel with a round – tipped diamond. Complete the preparation by rechecking the occlusal clearance in all excursions and assessing for smoothness

The first day held two surprises…
First, Liz Cheney said she always has her Dad review her speeches, but today she had a better idea… she brought him along, and introduced him to a standing, extended ovation.
The second surprise was the appearance by our own Scott Brown. I'm including some video that I took (keep in mind that it was taken with my pocket camera). Scott ended by introducing Mitt Romney. I'll try to include some of that video as well.
In spite of the above, the rest of the day included these notables…
David Keene (ACU) – "The strength of our movement in not in Washington, it is out in the country with you folks."
Jim DeMint – Washington's establishment laughed off Rubio, they're not laughing now!" (He introduced Marco Rubio)
Marco Rubio – "Why have I been able to achieve things that my grandfather could not? Because I am a member of the single greatest society that ever existed. From Tea Parties to the MA election we are experiencing the single greatest political pushback in American history." And "Everything I have ever accomplished I owe to God, my parents, and the United States of America."
Jim DeMint – The battle is between the American people and the Democrats; and I like those odds." And "Time is tight within the Republican party – It's really a fight between those who take the Constitution seriously, and those who don't." and "Just because you're good on TV doesn't mean you can sell Socialism to Americans."
Dick Armey – "The Dems are out. The Republicans must come to us (speaking of the Tea Party folks) to get in, and then not forget how they got there.
Dick Cheney – "Barack Obama is a one-term president and 2010 will be an amazing year for conservatives."
Mitt Romney – "Did you hear that they stripped our Olympic skier Lindsay Vonn of her gold medals? It turns out President Obama is sliding downhill faster than anyone." (joke)
RR and RR…
More tomorrow…. rr

This is where you get inspired! Many complain occur in everyone, but you have to overcome them. Continue to seek knowledge will be better than silence without action.
Sometimes life is hard, but there is always a way that you can go through. You may find it strange in every second of everyday life. A time to contemplate your fate, five minutes each day is enough. Do your friends or your family support you at this time? It is one of the determinants of life failure.
Now you feel like everything will be fine and will continue to work. Hopefully above quotation helpful for you, better if you take a look at another quote. Thanks for visiting 'Short Quote Pics', This image posted by Luis Farajo.

It wasn't long ago when freshman Congressman Roscoe G. Bartlett seemed destined to be a one-termer. Within weeks of taking office in 1993, he carved out a reputation as Western Maryland's accidental politician, who happened into office but could not hold on to it. Now he has to be considered the odds-on favorite for re-election to Maryland's Sixth Congressional District, which sprawls from Howard and Carroll counties on the east to Garrett County on the west.
Gone is his early reputation for making impolitic public utterances. After he allowed as how some of the accomplished high school students in his district didn't have "normal" names and then refused to seek federal emergency assistance for removing snow from the severe ice storms of the winter of 1993-1994, Mr. Bartlett's political fortunes looked dismal. Fellow Republicans, who didn't want the seat to fall back into the hands of the Democrats, openly talked of opposing him.
But no formidable GOP challenge has materialized. A former Maryland congressman, Lawrence J. Hogan Sr., decided not to take on Mr. Bartlett, who now faces a weak field in the primary. And since Beverly Byron -- the district's congresswoman who lost in the 1992 Democratic primary to Del. Thomas Hattery -- decided not to run, the Democratic Party will field a much less prominent candidate for this year's general election.

If all Witch Tryal cards are found, the remaining townspeople win! But be careful who you trust; the Conspiracy card may soon turn your friends into witches. Before long, accusations will be flying and screams of "She's a Witch!" will wake the neighbors. Will you be the hero who purges your town of witches, or will you be wrongly accused and hanged for witchcraft? Or perhaps you will become a witch yourself, escape conviction, and bring Salem to the ground in hysteria.
Salem 1692 is the 2nd Edition of the game (previously called "Salem"), and comes in a larger, stronger faux book box than the 1st Edition and is the same size as Tortuga 1667. It is a standalone game in the Dark Cities series of games by Facade Games.

Note: Page 9 of the printed rulebook should read "After Night is over, shuffle the discard pile to re-form the deck, again placing Night at the bottom. Continue playing where you left off." The PDF you can download here contains the correction.

POLICE have labelled football violence which marred Cardiff City's match with Sheffield United as the worst they have seen in years.
But Cardiff supporters have blamed South Yorkshire Police for failing to contain the trouble at Saturday's game.
More than 150 extra officers were drafted in to police the match at Sheffield's Bramall Lane ground.
But trouble flared between fans both before and after the match. Six men were injured and a further six arrested.
Five of the arrested were Cardiff supporters. Two were charged with affray, one with threatening behaviour and two with disorderly conduct.
The sixth person, a Sheffield supporter was charged with threatening behaviour.
Police wearing riot gear, mounted officers and a police helicopter were brought in after police intelligence suggested that a group of Cardiff fans planned to arrive in Sheffield early in to confront local hooligans.
Problems occurred inside the stadium after the game, which finished 5-3 to Sheffield Utd, with coin throwing and abuse between rival fans.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said that Cardiff fans had turned on police officers in a number of violent incidents.
"It was the worst we've seen in many years," he said
Superintendent Martin Hemmingway added, "The enjoyment of a superb game of football by many decent fans was marred by the appalling behaviour of a minority of people who were clearly intent on causing trouble from the outset."

Shelves: made-me-cry, favorites, biography, india
This book changed my life. It is by far the best biography I have ever read, but I think the unique format lends itself to that. While it is officially an anthology, the editor strung it in a way that Gandhi himself narrates the story. Drawing from all of Gandhi's writings, this blend really makes up something special.

Such a simple philosophy on how to make the world better, adopt non-violence ('satyagraha'), renounce materiality, act on convictions and eradicate inequality, exploitation and idleness. I admire Gandhi not only because of his bold statements, his ability to inspire, his active resolve, his visionary perspectives and his articulate mind, but also because he was so humble in recognizing his own personal weaknesses. I found it so tragic that he was assassinated at a time when it seemed like all wa ...more

I didn't know anything about Gandhi before, so I learned a lot about his life and philosophies, both of which were fascinating. I found much of his writing inspiring. I think the only problem with this book is that the editing is not as strong as it should be -- there were times when passages were repeated, and sometimes the chosen passages felt choppy together. Other times, things got repetitive. Still, it's a huge amount of information to condense into a manageable book for the average reader, ...more

One of the most important books that I have ever read. Although the editing of this book could have been better, the essence of Gandhi's message was preserved. The book weaves together some of the Great Soul's best writings and introduces us to his beliefs, political views, philosophies and his relationship with his own spirituality. Gandhi's achievements give us hope that if we embrace our enemies with love and compassion, and constantly battle our own demons and vices, then we have a real chan ...more
Jul 23, 2009 Alex rated it liked it
This is an interesting book on Gandhi's perspectives and life's work, but not as good as his autobiographical "My Experiments With the Truth", which was more of a narrative and flowed much better. This book felt pastiched and scattered, though I did learn some things I didn't get from the aforementioned other work (e.g., he was adamantly against being called "Mahatma"). Overall, it's a worthwhile read, but I'd get "My Experiments" first if you're just getting into Gandhi.
Jun 06, 2015 Dan Patel rated it it was amazing
Too powerful to have a proper reaction after the first read. I'll return to this book later in the year and give it another go, and hopefully be able to grasp it better. Much of his ideas are beautifully undeniable, but reading a lot of what he says also raises questions, which Gandhi of course would have had no issue with. I'll be thinking about this into the unforeseeable future.

The book is a condensed version of a biography of Gandhi and many of his teachings as well. Much of it is drawn from Gandhi's own autobiography or otherwise drawn from his own words. It is easy to read and generally well-written. Gandhi's life was in many respects a quest for truth, which in turn kept him humble, open to new ideas and the criticism of others. As he said, "the conviction that morality is the basis of things and that truth is the substance of all morality. Truth became my sole obj ...more

First, the bad... As much as I enjoyed the narrative quality of the way Ghandi's writings were organized and the historical background interspersed throughout, I can't help but feel the editor was a little too heavy handed here. There were too many brackets, too many ellipses. And paragraphs written sometimes as much as 25 years apart were presented side by side as if part of the same text. On a single page, there were as many as 5 different source texts, with varying audiences and political con ...more

There are far too many ellipses in this book for my taste. The author/complier who was trying to convey Gandhi's ideas literally cobbled together quotes throughout the entire book. Having several sets of ellipses in just about every sentence was ridiculous. It leaves you wondering whether or not the quotes are being used in the proper context.

If you read this book thinking that it will be an easy guide about life, you'll be disappointed if you even finish. Gandhi's thought provoking questions about humility and its dysfunctional response to the universal lack of, "The rule of law," sends a clear message that even the Neanderthals would be hard pressed not too understand. Fischer attempt's to capture the essential ideas of a man far more advance in human thought than almost any person alive at that time. His simple ideals transcend t ...more

The editor invaded this book. I barely got through the first chapter because it felt so man-handled; molested, even. Th editing felt like such an insult to the idea of Gandhi. Gandhi wrote and spoke in the moment; that was how he practiced truth. I forget who edited this, but whoever did claimed to be an expert in Gandhi. If he was such an expert, how could he bring himself to do the exact opposite of what Gandhi strived to do? It was simply blasphemous.

Shelves: memoir-biographical, non-fiction
Don't take my rating the wrong way. As I expected them to be the writings of Gandhi were overwhelming, and caused much introspection for me, but this particular compilation left much to be desired. The editing was poor, and it tended toward taking a paragraph here and there from different writings and pasting them together. I am always leery of writings pasted like this, often intentionally or unintentionally the original direction of the piece is cut away, leaving side notes or worse.

This book made me realize how like-able Gandhi Ji really was! There may be things about him that I may not agree to or ideas that may not resonate with me but I guess that's OK. He was just like me or any other human grappling to get a hold of life - to find the perfect balance between carnal desires, obligations and one's true purpose in life or at least the pursuit of it.

This really is the essential Gandhi. Starting out I kind of had pre-set ideas of Gandhi and his beliefs. This was great to read in its entirety. You see Gandhi's views change over his life and I love how he does not hold everyone to his personal standards, but inspires them to reach farther, and to become better. His undying faith in the goodness of humankind and the power to reach him or her through love is amazing and inspiring.

This as an absolutely fantastic book. Fischer chronicles Gandhi's life in a way that is fascinating as a narrative, but not overly intrusive on his beliefs and teachings.

This is an awesome resource for primary material (Gandhi's own writings). The book presents excerpts from multiple sources, both from his time in South Africa and in India, in what seems to be a mostly chronological order. The way it's written makes it easy to read, almost like a first person novel.
In terms of the content itself, Gandhi was brilliant and way ahead of his time.

Very disappointing. Difficult to read as the writer took Gandhi's quotes and then wrote a bit in between them giving some background. Would just as soon have read a biography online. Very dull. Gandhi's heart and soul were lost in translation. Had to make myself read it, which I very seldom make myself do.

I am just in awe that a man such as this existed. The mere thought that a man fasting would bring people together is mind blowing. I misunderstood Gandhi's non violence movement before this book. His faith in that fact that humanity is good is unparalleled to anything that I have read before. I like that he never thought he had the absolute truth but just trying his best to find it.

That's where this handy little idea for an emergency lint remover comes in. I was inspired by the sticky washable lint removers and thought what else is sticky that could do the job. Sticky tape of course! Simply wrap sticky tape around your fingers a few times sticky side out and drag or dab your fingers over the fabric. When the sticky tape looses its stick, cut it off your fingers and wrap some more around your fingers.
You will need to do it a few times to get through most jobs so it doesn't replace a real lint remover, but it is good enough to get you out of a bind. How effective it is will also depend on the material - I found it didn't do a great job with interfacing as interfacing quickly makes the tape ineffective, but for clothing like work pants it does a good job.

I woke to a white capped winter wonderland, and a list of things to do. I smirked as my thoughts drifted to all those local residents who probably saw this is the apocalypse. I have to admit I felt a little shame as I realize I was relying on other people's fear of this weather. However, knowing that this meant that I would have decent travel, I got up, donned my flannel shirt and jeans, and got out the door.
As I walked my car I looked back and saw my children, wide-eyed with excitement, faces pressed against the glass of our front window. Every part of me that is a dad uttered a small prayer that they keep the wonderment that is the season. That they hold fast to the childlike joy that is all things winter. Playing in the snow, building snowmen, hanging Christmas lights, all of it.
The peace of the open road, the sound of Beethoven softly playing over the radio, these are the moments. In astute reflection I paused as the red light glared at me. This season is so much more than just a cold winter's holiday.
I am reaching a height of purpose that I could not even ink out from the base where I started. My home is full of love, passion, understanding, and joy. This more than warms the heart. My job satisfaction is at an all-time high, even as I face new beginnings with my promotion. My faith has been continuously reassured with every struggle and victory. This season is good.
These thoughts are juxtaposed with the view out my windshield. This is the weather that begs for our melancholy. The deep, dark gray skies cascading against the cool white snow. The ceaseless creaking as the wind blows through the snow laden boughs above. The shocking silence as even nature seeks respite against the cold.
The light turns green. As my car navigates the barren road every second brings a beauty that negates the misanthropic thralls of my mind. I smile as I accelerate. Feeling all of the parts of me coalesce; dad, husband, and a little bit of lumberjack muddled in, as I own the road.
Live big, love bigger, and be kind, always.

A Psychic
Photograph of Red Cloud,
Spirit Guide
in her later years.
(May 1889 - May 1970)
All those who properly understand
and appreciate the gift of mediumship agree that
Britain produced an outstanding all-round medium
in the 20th-Century: Mrs Estelle Roberts. She
displayed a wide variety of the gifts of the
spirit, including mental mediumship, physical
materialisation, direct-voice
phenomena, and
remarkable healing powers.
In the
1950s, this woman was probably responsible (with
the help of a small handful of other notables)
for getting the Spiritualist religion legalised
and respected in Great Britain because she
visited the Houses of Parliament and gave
stunning demonstrations of clairvoyance to the
Lords and Ladies of the Realm and to the MPs. So
convinced by her abilities were the MPs that they
rallied to the Spiritualist Cause.
Even though
more than a quarter of a century has passed since
she died, the impact of Estelle Roberts's gifts
is still keenly felt. Many modern-day mediums
hold Mrs Roberts in high regard, and when they're
delivering clairvoyant messages they try to
achieve her degree of accuracy.
In the
1940s and 1950s verbatim reports were made of
Estelle's messages by stenographers present at
her public meetings. Here are a few simple
snippets of her messages, and in the first one a
'dead' brother is returning to his sister who is
seated in a crowd:
Estelle: He has
brought Jim with him.
Woman: I can't place
a Jim.
Estelle: He's your
mother's brother.
Woman: Yes that's
Estelle: He's met Aunt
Woman: I don't
remember her.
Estelle: She's an in-law
connected with your mother. Her name was Mary
Anne Jane.
Woman: Oh yes!
To another
lady, whom Estelle had singled out of a large
crowd of people, she said:
Estelle: There is a young
airman who wants to talk. You are his mother.
Before this meeting, you went to his portrait and
asked him to get through tonight, if he could.'
Woman: Yes.
Before going on to relay the boy's poignant
message of love, Estelle
gave his correct age as twenty-two.
recipient received through Mrs Roberts news of
her four 'dead' brothers, then the medium
Estelle: They have brought
Mary with them.
Woman: Mary? I can't
recall her.
Estelle: Well, I must help
you. She is your father's sister.
Woman: Oh yes!

Famed Novelist and Health
Guru, Dame Barbara Cartland described in her
autobiography how her mother, Mary, received
astonishingly accurate facts through the
mediumship of Estelle Roberts, whose survival
evidence all hardened sceptics and cynics would
find impossible to explain away:
Brilliant Survival
Barbara's mother, Mary, had received news that
one of her sons, Ronald, had been shot and killed
in action in the War; and in the same year she
endured further agony concerning the fate of her
other son, Tony, who was reported missing.

Regiment who was taken prisoner," writes
Dame Barbara Cartland. "Several replied that
they had heard that Captain Anthony Cartland was
a prisoner."
Dame Barbara's suggestion, and using the
pseudonym of Mrs Hamilton, her mother booked a
sitting with Estelle Roberts. Dame Barbara
records that::
suddenly announced, "You have come to
consult me about your sons. They are both here
beside you."
both," said Dame Barbara's mother,
defensively. "One is a prisoner."
Roberts shook her head. "No," she
insisted. "They are together. The youngest
one tells me that he was killed the
day before his brother. Now they are both
talking together; they have so much they want to
say to you."
Dame Barbara's mother refused to listen, certain
that Tony was still alive. "What a waste of
money!" she commented after the sitting.
Estelle Roberts had been correct - the next year
a letter arrived from the Ministry of Defence
stating that Tony had indeed been killed in
action, on May 29, exactly one day before the
death of his elder brother, Ronald."
Estelle had made this announcement even before
the Ministry of Defence had received any news of
the missing boy - she could have received this
information only from the spirit world.
remarkable autobiography of Estelle Roberts is
now out-of-print but is still available through
specialist Internet bookstores and second-hand
bookshops. It's called:
Fifty Years a Medium (Corgi Books: 1975).
There was also an earlier version called:
Forty Years a Medium

I don't know what I saw, but I'd been changing, got my paws out of the ropes, started taking off my clothes. I can run much faster in dog form, but not when I'm trapped in a pair of jeans."
A long silence.
"They saw you . . . " Kris prodded.
"Yeah . . . are they dead? I just ran . . . didn't stop to check. Ought to have grabbed my clothes, or at least my wallet . . . and then the dogs found me. Fortunately just one at a time."
"Yeah. They're dead. Why didn't you go to the police?"
"I was too tired to change back. It takes so much energy, and I was hurt . . . I heal fast, especially in dog-form. But it was still five days before I could change."
"And by then, you'd hitched a ride down here, away from them."
He looked up, startled. "That was the idea, but they're here. In Phoenix. At least seven of them." He blinked. "But you're a cop, aren't you? You can take care of them, right? I know where those seven live."
Kris felt like he'd been sucker punched.
"How did you find them? Were you looking for them?"
The boy shook his head. "I spotted one . . . I didn't think he'd seen me, but . . . I was talking to Rachel. I left, thinking he hadn't seen me, but he went and talk to Rachel. And followed her home."
Kris froze.
"So I tracked him. There's three houses . . ."
Kris scrambled to grab a pad of paper and wrote down the addresses, asked for the address of the warehouse in Albuquerque . . .
"I tried to send that in anonymously, but nothing happened. They must have thought it was just a silly joke. There's a place in the desert I followed them to yesterday. They're getting a dancing circle ready. It's outside of highway 303, north of highway 60 about eight miles."
Kris swallowed. Had to reach for the professionalism that had become second nature. "I'll send this out . . . minus all mention of werewolves . . . Shit . . . and get Nicole and Rachel out of here for a few days . . . " He met the boy's eyes. "You can stay at the house. We may need your help. The mess in the desert? That was pure self-defense."
Leo shook his head. "It'll never come to trial. I'll stick around as long as I can, but I'm not going to disappear into some government laboratory."
"Umm . . . I . . . don't think we've got . . . anything like that." Crap. I've fallen into a horror flick.
The boy started laughing. "Maybe, maybe you should find out." He pointed at the dash cam. "Show them that."
"I'd rather just shoot myself." Kris sighed. "Right, so you can't change very often?"
"Not when I'm injured, dehydrated, and starving. Now? No problem. So if you don't mind? I'll just sack out in your yard and go to work early."
"Why there?"
"Because my first paycheck wasn't enough to rent even a cheap apartment, and everything I own is in Albuquerque."
Including his wallet with his ID in the police evidence room there.
"Right. Back yard until I get the ladies someplace safe." Kris put the car in gear, and headed for the house.
He left the dash cam running, and presumably recording whatever Leonard Stone was doing in the back seat. When he pulled into the garage, it was a dog that jumped out of the back seat.
Nicole and Rachel were still up.
"Listen . . . " He trailed off. How do you tell them a dog warned me . . . "Umm, a case I'm working on has gone sideways, and there a good probability that they know who's investigating them. I was followed both away from here and back. I need both of you to leave, to go someplace safe for a couple of weeks."
Nicole looked worried, but Rachel was sitting up indignantly.
"I just started a new job. I can't go away for a couple of weeks!"
"It's . . . "Kris eyed the dog. Stone will be there . . . "I think you'll be fine so long as you stay away from here."
Rachel glowered, but reached for her laptop. "How about a hotel? There're some just off the freeway, maybe a mile . . . "
Stone interrupted with three sharp barks.
Kris eyed him, then turned back to Rachel. "Stone says three miles to be safe."
Rachel sputtered and Nicole laughed. "All right smart ass. For that, it'll be Wee Quiva."
Rachel eyed her.
"Upscale Hotel and Casino. We'll go in the morning, after the Bad Guys have followed Kris to the office."
Rachel typed away at her comp . . . "Ooo! Nice! There goes my first paycheck, which I haven't even got yet. I'll meet you there after work. Umm, do they allow pets?"
"Stone can stay here with me. And really, it should just be for a couple of days. I need to write some stuff up, if you two will excuse me?"
"Sure, no problem." The sisters exchanged glances and headed for the kitchen.
"God knows what the pair of them will cook up." Kris muttered, very quietly.
Stone thumped his tail, got up and followed the women.
Kris stepped into the garage and pulled the chip from his dash cam.
I need this backed up, and a carefully cropped part of it sent to Dr. Reid. My Boss, the Albuquerque field office.
He fished Wright's card out of his pocket.
Yeah. Even Wright, this isn't the time for inter-agency rivalry. I'll have to say I let Leonard Stone get away. But we've got addresses. We know there are at least seven men here, a couple dozen in Albuquerque—plus women and dogs—so more of them . . . in dog-form.
But do we have enough evidence for warrants? For raids? Well, I can always arrest Stone.
Kris snorted. He'd probably turn into a dog and woof at them, looking innocent. Dear God above, I'm going to wind up in the looney bin over this . . . nightmare.
And I may have to actually ask someone if there's a "Really Weird Stuff" division tucked away somewhere.
He plugged the chip into his computer and copied it.
Sealed the original in an envelope and shoved it under other things in the top drawer. Cut the start and finish of the video.
The report is going to be . . . really interesting . . . even without the no fireworks, no eerie lighting effects Hollywood-does-it-better transformations.
The subject, Leonard Stone, see attached file 1, seems to believe he actually is a werewolf. The attached dash cam recording, see attached file 2, includes his claim of being the intended victim, and to killing both the men at the site, as well as two dogs.
No one is going to believe this. But with some careful surveillance to confirm . . . maybe we can wrap this up in a couple of days.
And they won't find Nicole or Rachel.
He choked, swallowed bile. Remembered what had been done to the Forty-eights' other victims.
I will watch Nicole leave in the morning. I will follow her, watch for anyone else following her. We'll all be fine.
Stone identified the following addresses . . .
Kris typed in the addresses both here and Albuquerque. Finished the report. Hesitated.
Sent it.
All Right, NSA. You've got your SWAT teams in Albuquerque? Take them out. A couple dozen men, Stone said. Plus women and dogs. Then get down here and deal with the seven Stone's found, and any others in their gang.
And hurry!
He didn't sleep well.
Got up in the middle of the night to open his gun safe and stare at his deer rifle. His larger caliber pistol. Fast take down of a large dog. Or man. Hope I don't need silver bullets.
He loaded both and put them—and extra ammunition—in the trunk of his car.
I'll remind Nicole to take hers.
Thursday morning he followed Nicole for two miles, then turned for the office.
For a frustrating morning trying to talk to anyone in Albuquerque. "Thanks for the intel. We're too busy to chat. Go find Stone, I can't believe you let him get away, and stop bothering us."
Much peering at satellite photos, Google maps. Street views. Three houses in a row. landscaping no worse off than anywhere else in the desert.
The boss brought in sandwiches and they continued arguing, and watching the dash cam clip over again.
Masterson walked in, shaking his head. "We can watch them, but we can't do anything. Kris, I'll put people on Wee Quiva tonight."
Brad Cohen stopped the replay. "How'd he meet your sister?"
"They both work at Handyman Central on Bethany." Kris made a note. "I'll get, eventually, a warrant to see what employment history he gave them, what identification, since . . . well, the NSA by now, no doubt . . . has his wallet. Damn I'd like in on this."
He stared at the picture of the three houses. "Can we put a drone up to watch . . . "
Masterson was shaking his head. "I asked, and got an absolute no. The NSA owns this . . . operation."
Kris nodded. "I wonder if they're moving on them elsewhere? Get enough results and the announcement won't sound so bad. 'A Cannibal Cult that's been killing women all over the US for twenty years and we've finally got some of them' is not going to be well received. 'Most of them' will pass muster."
His phone vibrated in his pocket. He got a censorious look, but pulled it out anyway. Unknown number.
"Hello?" He kept it neutral, uninformative.
"This is Stone. Rachel didn't come back from lunch, but her car is still in the parking lot."

Get your guitar and sweet-tea glass, we're going to Nashville!
In August, JHubbs and I are mounting the 9-hour drive to visit Nashville for 4 nights and 5 days. In true FPU-style, we're 100% cash flowing this: We're staying in an AirBNB loft with a full kitchen (a little under $500) and we ordered a ton of Paleo To Go Meals to help us cook less on the road but still stay strict Autoimmune (about $300). We've budgeted another $200 cash for gas and incidentals, and we'll probably try to have a few meals out if I can stick with my Facebook Autoimmune group's recommendations, which are the following:
- This blog post from Grassfed Girl lists a few restaurants, including Turnip Truck (grocery store with a hot bar), ML Rose Craft Beer and Burgers, Fido Cafe, and Joe's Naturals
- This blog post from Style Blueprint also lists a few, including Burger Up, Fido, and (Pub)Licity
- My Paleo Works apparently delivers your meals or you can pick them up at local Crossfit boxes
- And for buying meat and cooking, there's a nearby Whole Foods and great stuff at the Porter Road Butcher.
Our goal is to check out Nashville and see if it's a town we'd like to move to in the next year (which would be CRAZY!) to support JHubb's musical ambitions. But the more we think about it, we're concerned about the music lifestyle and what that would look like even if he was one-in-a-million successful. So, the trip is somewhere between "checking out a city to move to" and "vacation." Another trick I like to do? Contact local Crossfit boxes and see if there's anyone Paleo who'd like to hang out or meet up. We tried that in Cincinnati and didn't get much response, but I may try again in Nashville and get a Paleo-view of the city.
I'm also excited about my workaholic challenge to take more time off — I have already given the notice that I'll be unavailable the whole week and a half I'm away. We're bringing computers so JHubbs can continue his work efforts and I can do some personal project work, but it will be otherwise deadline-free. It will be strange to be roaming free and not worried about money coming in or missing checks… it's like a whole new life level has been unlocked, vide0-game style. Those aren't laurels we plan to rest on, of course, but it's hard not to notice the difference in travel now compared to even two years ago.

When it comes to getting red carpet-ready, Julianne Moore knows what it takes to perfect her look. "I like a good spray tan—it's a must," Moore told InStyle at last week's 2015 Critics' Choice Movie Awards, where she wowed in a Saint Laurent gown. "You have no idea how white I am because this is tan! Can you imagine what I'd look like without one? That would be horrible."

The actress, who yesterday earned a best actress Oscar nomination for her touching role in Still Alice, also revealed that she hasn't always believed getting bronzed up was necessary or flattering: "Actually, there was a period in my career where every time I did a photo shoot, they always wanted to make me tan," she shared. "They would tan me, and I would tell them that I looked like a Tootsie Roll or log. I'd be the same color as my hair!"

The Mamaroneck and Rye Neck schools may not be able to maintain the quality level residents are used to under the new 2% state tax cap, district superintendents say.
Dr. Peter Mustich of Rye Neck and Dr. Robert Shaps of Mamaroneck said at the Local Summit's Tuesday meeting that the new law takes away local control, puts schools in a financial straight jacket and continues to subject them to top down spending requirements (mandates) over which they have no say.
The NYS legislature passed the law in June and it was subsequently signed into law by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, who regarded it as a key accomplishment of his new administration. Proponents touted it as a practical and symbolic means of keeping the rate of local tax increases down.
Dr. Mustich said that the law will essentially turn Westchester into a borough with the kind of school systems that many former New York City residents moved here to get away from. "The Tax Cap takes local control away and gives it to the state," he said. "I haven't been able to reach the Governor in weeks. He doesn't accept my calls."
Dr. Shaps said that ongoing state mandates (spending requirements for such things as pensions, health care, transportation and other items), coupled with the tax cap and Federal No Child Left Behind requirements, drain the schools' resources and make it less possible to provide quality education.
Neither school executive expressed much hope that the tax cap would be overturned. But they did express modest optimism that work by groups of area superintendents and other organizations might reduce mandate pressures.
Both said they recognize that they will have to better inform the public of the pending crisis and Dr. Shaps told the audience that Mamaroneck schools will hold a presentation and discussion about the ABC's of the new tax cap at 7:30 p.m. on December 5th at the Hommocks Library.
Less affluent school districts will be hardest hit by the tax cap, both said. "There is a relationship between home prices and quality education," Dr. Shaps said.
Concerned about underfunded schools, State Assemblyman George Latimer said he was appalled by conditions when he visited his old school in Mount Vernon. Rather than reduce the quality of top schools, residents of various communities should work together to increase the quality of all schools, he said.
Latimer said it's not always easy advocating for Mamaroneck and Rye Neck schools in Albany, as fellow legislators are often skeptical of the districts' needs. They are particularly critical of Westchester's multitude of small towns and villages, each with its own government,fire department, police department and school district, he said. This "duplicative government" is financially wasteful, they say.
The Local Summit, which hosted the program, is an informal community council aimed at making to the community a better place for everyone. Its next public discussion, featuring County Executive Robert Astorino, will be held at 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, Tuesday, Dec. 20 at the Nautilus Diner in Mamaroneck.

Zayn Malik: Is He Rejoining One Direction? The Truth
Will he or won't he? Speculation of Zayn Malik rejoining One Direction has sent the 1D fandom into a tailspin, and HollywoodLife.com can tell you EXCLUSIVELY what the truth is behind those rumors.
It's the question everyone is asking: Is Zayn Malik, 22, plotting a return to One Direction? After fans took notice of some alleged changes to the band's website and Facebook page, many fans want it to happen. HollywoodLife.com can EXCLUSIVELY reveal what Zayn's plan are concerning 1D and what he thinks about those crazy rumors!
"Zayn is a little miffed that everyone believes he's going to end up back with 1D," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "The speculation bothers him. He left the group because he couldn't handle the high-profile that came with the band in the end, and he wants to get away from all that."
The rumors of Zayn's possible return started when the band's website allegedly put Zayn's bio back up on their page. Then, their official Facebook page took down his departure announcement. That sent the One Direction-loving world into a frenzy, with scores of fans speculating he was rejoining.
Fans will recall that Zayn announced his departure on March 25, saying that he wanted "some private time out of the spotlight" after he sensationally walked out of their world tour for reasons related to stress.
Zayn Malik 'Pushing Himself' To His Limits Recording Solo Album
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Zayn may be putting himself under more stress if he continues to work as hard as he is on his solo career. In fact, Zayn has been so desperate to make a point about going it alone, he has friends and family concerned.
"His family and friends are a little concerned that he's pushing himself too hard," our insider said. "After all, his mental collapse and stress was work-related, and he was advised to take a much-longer break. They've told him not to work so hard, but he wants to strike while the iron's still hot and deliver his fans new material."
What d'you think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Zayn will eventually return to 1D? Let us know your thoughts!

Remember what Posh and Becks looked like way back when? The A-List power couple appears to be one of the happiest in showbiz, and they're still going strong 17 years after they got married.
The two posted corresponding pictures on their Instagram accounts, celebrating their marriage.
The loving couple celebrated their 19-year romance by posting captions praising each other's kindness and beauty.
Victoria Beckham wrote: " I feel so loved and truly blessed. My best friend, my love.The kindest man who inspires me every day. Happy Anniversary to the best husband and daddy in the world!! EVER!#HappilyEverAfter @davidbeckham@brooklynbeckham X VB"
She posted a photograph of herself looking jubilant in a beautiful Vera Wang dress as she hugged her new husband.
David Beckham reciprocated her heartfelt message, writing: "Wow 17 years ago to this day this happened… I was lucky to meet someone who has the same drive and wanted the same things in life…
"We have created 4 beautiful children and I couldn't wish for a more loving and caring mummy for them… Happy anniversary, I love u".
Their anniversary probably cheered them up after the campaign for the UK to remain in the EU lost in late June.
The two had spent time campaigning on Twitter and Instagram for people to vote to remain – but the country did not listen to Posh and Becks and decided to vote to leave the European Union.

A Topical Collagen That Actually Works
By: Tiffany Windhurst |
Most skin care creams and anti-wrinkles serums that boast about having collagen in the product, don't actually work. The reason for this is because the collagen found in these products is not geared to be absorbed by the skin, and instead remains on the surface. Penetration of the skin is the key to increasing collagen and reducing lines and wrinkles.
